Sura 27, an-Naml, Mecca 48
Asad’s version
(27:78) Verily, [O believer,] thy Sustainer will judge between them in His wisdom - for He alone is almighty, all-knowing.
(27:79) Hence, place thy trust in God [alone] - for, behold, that
in which thou believest is truth selfevident. 71
The Quranic text and Ali’s version
إِنَّ رَبَّكَ يَقْضِي بَيْنَهُم بِحُكْمِهِ...
27:78. Verily thy Lord will decide between them by His Decree:
C3310. Decree: hukm: the disputes between rival sects can only be settled by the Decree of Allah,
- in the form of a Revelation, as was done by the Quran, or
- by the logic of events, for hundreds of sects have been extinguished and forgotten in the course of time, and
- in the Decree of Judgment in the Hereafter, when all jarring sects will at length see their errors.
...وَهُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الْعَلِيمُ ﴿٧٨﴾
and He is Exalted in Might, All-Knowing.
